panem et circences

a) bread and circuses in Latin.
b) the main raison d'être of the American media

As per definitions both a) and b) above the Jodi Arias trial is IMHO nothing more than panem et circences.

panem et circences

a) bread and circuses in Latin.
b) the main raison d'être of the American media

the Latin phrase panem et circences can also be translated into modern American English as fast food and entertainment (whether it's sports, the movies, bowling, the media, or computer games) rather than bread and circuses as in The Roman Empire

When The Cow Cries, The Day Dies.

A saying from the 15th Century, which peasants used to tell when curfew began. Cows would release a "cry" when they felt tired, which usually happened near the normal curfew time. People use this phrase nowadays to signal distress or if someone bad or unlucky happened to them.

John -"I lost my wallet at the park earlier..."

Mary - "Well, When The Cow Cries, The Day Dies."
